Multiplication and Division

Friday fun with Maths. 

We were learning to solve 2's, 5's and 10's problems using materials. Each student had a different way of solving equations. 






Warren Pohatu - Art Inspiration

This year for the Pinehill art exhibition, Room 17 have chosen to produce pieces of Maori sea creature art. First it was important to study sea life pictures and then students were allowed many attempts sketching their chosen creature. Our inspiration has come from Warren Pohatu, a well-known New Zealand artist.
